Summary/Abstract: With this study we intend to carry out a socio-linguistic introspection regarding the “Americanization” phenomenon as it is reflected over the European space in general, and the French identify space in particular. Our analysis will focus on some linguistic aspects: the Anglo-American influence over the contemporary French lexis, the linguistic phenomenon known as “franglais” with a typology, borrowings with different degrees of adaptation etc.
